Around the blogosphere, many bloggers share their perspective on life. As I contemplate these many ideas (and some are really out there), sometimes I’m not sure what I think.
During this week of What Do You Think?, I share a topic and give you my 2¢. Please share your opinion.
The topics chosen will follow the posting schedule [2]. Thanks in advance for your contributions on this journey to Using Time Wisely!
What Do You Think about Establishing a Designated Family Night?
Tracy’s 2¢: Our family does not have a single night dedicated to family night. I know of a family that declines all invitations on Monday evening to honor their family night. This arrangement works for that family, and I applaud them for building their family unit.
If you have a designated family night, how do you determined what you will do together? My children would choose a movie or play a game. However, my choice would lend more to a theme.
For example, with the Opening Ceremonies for the Olympics occurring tonight, I would choose an Olympic theme complete with games, like this long jump contest [3] or online scavenger hunt [4], medal cookies [5], puzzles [6], and mazes [7].
At this time, our family incorporates weekly outings into our schedule, but the day, time, and activity changes from week to week. I often wonder if establishing a designated family night would help in planning and investing in our family relationships.
Though each family operates differently, I would love a designated family night. However, our schedule changes from week to week. What do you think?
